This report by RMI analyzes the demand for near-zero emissions steel in seven East and Southeast Asian countries by 2030, identifying a significant gap between projected demand and the current supply pipeline.

This report by Ember examines Thailand's need to accelerate its clean energy transition to maintain global competitiveness and support the growth of electric vehicle (EV) and data centre sectors. It highlights the tension between rising electricity demand from these sectors and the country's carbon reduction targets, suggesting that a clean power system is essential to attract foreign investment and meet the sustainability requirements of global tech companies.

This report by RMI outlines strategies to bridge the gap between India's green hydrogen production targets and actual adoption, proposing five demand-side interventions to unlock between 2.1 and 5 million metric tons (MMT) of demand by 2030.

A briefing by Zero Carbon Analytics analyzing the feasibility and necessity of the European Union increasing US LNG imports to replace Russian gas, concluding that existing and under-construction US capacity is already sufficient to meet this goal without further approvals.

This briefing by Zero Carbon Analytics provides an overview of the global petrochemical industry, highlighting its growing contribution to oil and gas demand and greenhouse gas emissions. It details the specific impacts of nitrogen fertilisers and plastics, the rapid expansion of production capacity—particularly in China—and the limitations of current recycling and substitution strategies in mitigating climate and health risks.

This report analyzes the energy transition in Uttar Pradesh (UP), India, highlighting the state's struggle to meet renewable energy targets despite its significant role in India's total power demand. The authors argue that UP's heavy reliance on coal-fired power creates financial and operational vulnerabilities, and they propose reforms for the state's distribution companies (Discoms) to facilitate a shift toward solar and biomass energy.

The Integrated Resource Plan (IRP 2019) is a strategic electricity infrastructure development plan for South Africa, designed to balance least-cost electricity supply and demand while considering security of supply and environmental impacts. The document updates the previous IRP 2010–2030 to reflect lower-than-expected GDP growth, declining electricity demand, and the deteriorating performance of Eskom's existing power plants.

This fact sheet provides a municipal snapshot of the Drakenstein Municipality (DM), detailing the critical constraints water scarcity and climate change pose to its future economic development, urban growth, and agricultural productivity by 2040.

This fact sheet analyzes the water intensity and future water security of the Bergrivier Municipality (BM), warning that failure to augment water supply or implement conservation measures will severely constrain economic development and employment by 2040.

The North Central Arizona Water Demand Study Phase I Report examines water use, conservation, and alternative supplies for non-reservation communities on the Coconino Plateau. It establishes a baseline of current water demand, evaluates existing conservation efforts, and proposes a detailed methodology for a Phase II study to forecast future potable and nonpotable water needs under various investment scenarios.
